How does dive auto-recovery work?

Used to, I could just cut the engine, roll over, hit the dive brake and coast to awesomeness (Stuka). But now with dive recovery, hitting the air brake in the ju88, etc. just seems to mess up my stabilizer/trims, etc. and make me miss my target. 

Thank you in advance!

 It does change the trim, so after the dive brake is hit,  I will trim back nose up `20 points (stuka) or so once I am in the dive I like.  Then once I retract the dive brakes I will then trim nose back down for the escape.
